Pros

Great people, great tech. In case you think you’ve learnt all there is to learn, think again! Ahead of the competition.

Cons

Salary. This is a prestige operation. They know they don’t need to pay well. They employ smart people who stick around for a couple of years before taking their skills elsewhere. The Amazon shadow is long. AWS needs to go it alone to maximize their potential.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
